Biblical tables . nname would be the more important. The author spent much time upon the islandof Malta in very minute examinations, and feelssatisfied that every condition required by thehistory of the apostle Pauls shipwreck, as re-corded in Acts, is met in the position and physicalfeatures of the present Malta.

We havegiven it upon the map, with the same name, andnot Meleda, as some insist, although d is fre-quently changed into ^ in the names of locali-ties. The quicksands, into which the sailorswere afraid of falling, are supposed, with goodreason, to have been at the Syrtis Major, south-east from Melita, upon the northern coast ofAfrica. The names, generally, upon this map,are those by which places were known in thetimes of the apostle. Many places not men-tioned in Scripture, are omitted, in order thatthe map may be less crowded.
